FLIGHT FROM ALBEROBELLO is a story about John and Rose who fall in
love in Italy at the turn of the 20th century. Rose is sent to
America to forget about John, who, becomes an outcast. Beaten and
driven from the tenant farm that he worked with his father, John,
sets a course of action that will help him find Rose. Fearing for
his life, John leaves Alberobello and follows Rose to America where
he risks the ultimate sacrifice. The novel focuses on John's
struggle as he attempts to meld old traditions into a new world
laced with conflicting attitudes and values. After years of
personal discord, John discovers that he, subconsciously, harbors
many of the same intolerances that once forced him from the land of
his birth. FLIGHT FROM ALBEROBELLO chronicles, fictitiously, the
life of an immigrant in a small upstate New York City. It is a
story secreted in the roots of many who were brave enough to seek a
new life, in an unknown land, fraught with uncertainty and
contradiction. For immigrants flooding to American at the start of
the 20th century, it was a new frontier.
